This paper presents a study on effectiveness of rapid safety assessment of buildings after the foreshock of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake using aerial photographs. The 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes are a series of earthquakes, including a Mw7.0 mainshock and a Mw6.2 foreshock earthquake. Since these two earthquakes occurred within 28 hours, the rapid safety assessment could not been carried out after foreshock. In this study, utilizing aerial photographs, the building damage situation after the foreshock is estimated as accurate as possible. Based on the estimated damage situation, the rapid safety assessment is carried out and the effectiveness of the assessment is evaluated.
